I had the theory that they were trolls. To my defense, at the time it got popular in my country, there were a lot of comments under news articles against Muslims and there was a general trend to put blame on them for every ill of society. People trying to make them as a group responsible for terrorism and demanded they need to distance themselves from these acts. Some form of backward kin liability. Then they blamed all men and white people. It would have been an awesome troll to make people question their reasoning. Problem was that they weren't trolling and pretty serious about it.
